Uninteresting story:
Was at a friend's BBQ house party over the weekend and met a fellow watch nerd who complimented me, of all pieces my Seiko SCC-909 Speedtimer on the wrist. From his compliment, I could tell he was a fellow man of culture.
On his wrist he was wearing a Lange Saxonia Thin...
Picked up a Horus brand fitted rubber strap for my Mission to Pluto, pretty much my go to watch now when I take my kid our for weekend sports/other activities.

Made a pilgrimage to both Grand Seiko boutiques in NYC over the weekend (the original on Madison Ave and the Watches of Switzerland collab in SoHo). Had my WoS exclusive SBGM241 GMT on wrist:

Was able to snag a MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto thanks to a friend of mine hitting up Swatch stores while in NYC.
When I picked up, immediately ordered a Barton red rubber strap to swap out the crappy velcro strap that comes included. Much happier with the looks and wearability now ??
They do make watches in those sizes:
